Sajani Yaite Pekhalu Kana

Govinda Das Kaviraj has written this song “Sajani Yaite Pekhalu Kana”. This song is taken from the book Padavali. In this song, Govinda Das Kaviraj has described Srimati Radharani’s state after seeing the charming Lord Krishna. She feels that if she attains Sri Krishna then she will have the whole world.
 
(Refrain)
sajani ya-ite pekhalu kana
tabadhari jaga-bhari          bharala kusuma-sara
nayane na heriye ana
 
(1)
dhala dhala sajala         jalada tanu sohana
mohana abharana saja
aruna nayana gati        bijuri camaka jiti
dagadhala kulabati-laja
 
(2)
majhu mukha darasi         bihasi tanu moda-i
bigalita mohana bamsa
na janiye kona      manoratha akula
kisalaya-dale karu damsa
 
(3)
ataye se majhu mana        jwalatahi anukhana
dolata capala parana
gobinda-dasa        micha-i asoyasa
tabahu na milala kana
 
 
(Refrain) O gopi-friend, I saw Krsna. If I attain Him I will have the whole world. He struck me with the flower-arrow of His glance. Now my eyes see none but Him.
 
(1) His form was glorious like a monsoon cloud. He was charming with graceful ornaments. The glance from his reddish eyes defeats lightning. That glance burned this saintly girl's shyness into ashes.
 
(2) When He saw my face, He smiled. His body trembled, and He dropped His charming flute. He bit a budding twig. What desire filled Him? I do not know.
 
(3) Since that time my heart burns at every moment. My restless life-breath trembles. Govinda dasa says: Your hope is false. Krsna will not meet with you yet.
